How do I deal with my puppy lunging at and biting my older dog?
Post Body
I have two GSD's: one is 9 weeks old, the other is 9 years old.
My new puppy keeps lunging at and biting my older dog. She goes for the neck or the legs or the tail. I understand that she is just trying to play, but my older dog wants no parts of it. She rips out hair (the older one is a long haired GSD) and drives the dog nuts.
How do I deal with this? My older dog snarls at her and barks at her, and I'm terrified that it will escalate. Right now, I've just been separating them until things calm down. The problem is, as soon as I bring them together again, the lunging starts.
